KMC 3: counting and manipulating k -mer statistics

Marek Kokot, Maciej Długosz, Sebastian Deorowicz

📄 Abstract

SUMMARY: Counting all k -mers in a given dataset is a standard procedure in many bioinformatics applications. We introduce KMC3, a significant improvement of the former KMC2 algorithm together with KMC tools for manipulating k -mer databases. Usefulness of the tools is shown on a few real problems. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Program is freely available at http://sun.aei.polsl.pl/REFRESH/kmc . CONTACT: sebastian.deorowicz@polsl.pl. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
